What are some of your favorite Linux apps that you use
This one might be controversial, but Winapps for Linux, app that lets run apps from within a Windows KVM as if it were native on your Linux system (https://github.com/Fmstrat/winapps)
-
Does Visual Studio 2022 exist on Arch Linux?
Yes but you have to run visual studios in a windows virtual machine qemu/kvm/virtmanager Then pass virtual studio window to your desktop so it runs like it is native https://github.com/Fmstrat/winapps optional Then use winapps to make a desktop and application launcher menu entry/icon
- STOP USING WINE. DARE
- Should I switch to Linux as a guitarist?
-
I hate Windows but
Have you considered running https://github.com/Fmstrat/winapps to integrate Outlook, Adobe, etc. right into gnome?
Personally, I use Windows 11 VM for MS office and other proprietary apps. Then I use Winapps to launch the apps without fiiring the VM. This way you can run Adobe photoshop and almost anything.
- Just switched to Pop!_OS. Any suggestions?
-
I thinking move for Pop_os, but...
A slightly more complex but definitely worthy solution I have discovered lately is winapps. It has a very detailer installation guide to enable RDP via Windows VM, and so far it has worked flawlessly with Adobe Acrobat, Office, and Affinity apps.

Just switched to linux yesterday, loving it!!!!
And there is always winapps for everything else https://github.com/Fmstrat/winapps

I really like Linux, but I also really dislike LibreOffice
I talked about this in a post on a Linux subreddit. My solution was to install a Windows 11 VM and Install MS office. I use WinApps to run the apps without manually firing the VM.

Hrvach/Deskhop: Fast Desktop Switching Device
Barrier is a Cross-Plattform, open source Synergy fork that works quite well without any additional HW too [0]
Prior to Synergy going to closed source, it was forked into Barrier[0], which then was forked into input-leap[1]. Both open source.
Synergy is open core, these portions are licensed as GPL: https://github.com/symless/synergy-core/#License-1-ov-file
There is an open source fork that branches off version 1.9: https://github.com/debauchee/barrier#what-is-it

Wayland vs. X – Overview
libei looks useful. But IDK why libei is necessary to run Barrier with Wayland?
For client systems, couldn't there just be a virtual /dev/inputXYZ that Barrier forwards events through
And for host systems, it looks like xev only logs input events when the window is focused.
Is xeyes still broken on Wayland, and how to fix it so that it would work with Barrier?
With Barrier, when the mouse cursor reaches a screen boundary, the keyboard and mouse input are then passed to a different X session on another box until the cursor again crosses a screen boundary rule.
Barrier is a fork of Synergy's open core: https://github.com/debauchee/barrier
